Boundless Love ‎#121

121. The Wise Virgins

1 “Rejoice, all ye believers,
And let your lights appear!
The evening is advancing,
And darker night is near;
The Bridegroom is arising,
And soon will He draw nigh,
Up! pray and watch and wrestle;
At midnight comes the cry.”

Refrain:
At midnight comes the cry,
At midnight comes the cry;
The Bridegroom is arising,
And soon will He draw nigh,
Up! pray and watch and wrestle;
At midnight comes the cry.

2 “See that your lamps are burning,
Replenish them with oil;
Look now for your salvation,
The end of earthly toil.
The watchers on the mountain
Proclaim the Bridegroom near;
Go meet Him as He cometh,
With hallelujahs clear.” [Refrain]
